Ken was incredible, funny, and went above and beyond to give us the best trip possible
Overall experience with right choice safaris was amazing. We had to postpone our trip due to COVID 19 and this was not an issue for George he was super helpful in rescheduling.
From the transport to the accommodation to the food to the tour itself everything was great. Our tour guide was Ken and he made the trip the best for us. We got to see more than we expected and this was down to Ken constantly looking to find us what we wanted to see. He was very informative about the animals and the land as well as being really friendly and easy to get on with. We laughed from start to finish.

Incredible first trip to Africa
We stayed in Kenya 6 days in April 2022 and visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. RightChoice helped us with travel arrangements, resort bookings and provided us with a fantastic guide, Tom, who took us around the entire trip.
This was our first time on Safari and it was incredibly exciting. All three destinations were different and unique. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and more! Our safari was private and Tom was very willing to listen to our requests as well. Millicent, the girl I had always emailed with who handles the administration was always super quick and responsive and very sweet when we saw each other in person.
It was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you to all the staff at RightChoice!

Reliable and very comitted touroperator, who help you everywhere they can to book your dream safari
We are a couple from the Netherlands that booked our 16 Day private lodge safari with Right Choice in the periode end of May/begin of June 2022. This period is the end of the rain season and not yet the high season, advantages are: better prices, never crowdy in the parcs/lodges and nice green landscapes. Disadvantages: sometimes there can be some rain in the afternoon and when you want to see the big migration to the Masai Mara, it's not the right time.
Our trip was a combined Kenya/Tanzania/Zanzibar trip. We started our trip in Nairobi and ended our trip on Zanzibar Island (the safaris ended in Arusha, where we took a domestic flight). During our trip we visited different parcs like Nairobi NP, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate NP, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.
From the moment we made contact with Right Choice, we constantly got very quick responses from George. All the questions we've had (as well as questions about composing and finetuning the trip as general questions about visas, best places to stay and other ideas) were answered quick and complete. George is always reachable by mail and (we found out later) by Whatsapp to help.
So we started at Nairobi (we arrived late in the evening). As soon as we left the doors of the airport we were picked up by out Kenyan driver/guide Jacob (excellent driver and guide, when you book your safari at Right Choice, ask for him!)
In consultation with George, we added an extra day in Nairobi, to explore the Giraffe Park and Nairobi National Park. We can recommend this to everybody. First of all, you have an extra day before the actual trip, so you can aclimatize a little bit and second you can visit Nairobi NP. You can spend a half Day in the park and have good opportunities to see rhinos (we did not see them anywhere else in Kenya).
After Nairobi we went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Masai Mara in Kenya. All the (tented) lodges were of good quality and most important, they have good locations in relation to the gates of the parks. If you want tot change a lodge for an other specific lodge you can arrange this also with George, he is ready to help you!
When it was time to leave Kenya and enter Tanzania, it was also time to change the driver/guide and the car (in both countrys we drove a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4). During the immigration proces, as well as Jacob as our new driver/guide Steven (who was already waiting for us at the border) helps us step by step till everything was arranged and made sure we felt save and relax during the transfer. Even George called us at that moment to ask is if everything was as we expected so far.
In Tanzania, our driver/guide Steven showed us he also have great driving skills and knowledge of all the flora and fauna in every park! We can also perfectly recommend Steven when traveling in Tanzania. After visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire where we switched lodge (tip: Tarangire Safari Lodge inside Tarangire park), we were dropped of at Arusha airport and got the information of the flight times to Zanzibar and who was going to pick us up. Also this part of communication was great and we felt like everything was arranged very well for us. We spend the last 3 nights at a beach hotel at Zanzibar. Our suggestion is to discuss with George what kind of hotel you want and the choose the one you like.
Conclusion, if you looking for a real reliable and trustable touroperator with excellent drivers/guides who literally know everything about their countys, National Parks and also love to share this with you, you can book with confidence at Right Choice. Special thanks to George, Jacob and Steven!

Good organisation, nice people, an overall great experience
We booked our 7-day Safari from Nairobi to Mombassa (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West) with Right Choice quite last minute. This wasn't a problem for George who provided us fast with all the information needed and answered all our questions. He booked us a hotel and airport transfer the night we arrived and organized train tickets for our further journey from Tsavo West to Mombasa. John Kilonzo, our tour guide, did a great job and surpassed our expectations. The booked Lodges were amazing, and we got to see all the big 5 and a lot more. We can only further recommend Right Choice Tours & Safari and thank the organization team and especially John for this amazing trip!

Excellent safari tour of Kenya
George from Right choice was an excellent vacation planner for our ten day trip to Kenya. He made great arrangements and the driver and guide (Teddy) he provided for our safari experience was super experienced and made our trip a great success. Would highly recommend booking your Safari trip with them as they are diligent and provide excellent service overall.

Amazing company who will go above and beyond
I would highly recommend this company!
Pre-covid we had started to plan our safari with George but sadly due to the pandemic we had to rearrange multiple times.
Initially we had planned a tour of Kenya and Tanzania, finishing in Zanzibar but because of the unknown covid situation in Tanzania we decided to change our plans to just Kenya finishing in Diani Beach.
George was incredibly helpful at suggesting alternatives based on what we wanted to see/experience and then organising our new itinerary.
The website has some suggested safari plans but they will alter any parts around your personal preferences.
Even after rearranging 3 times, George stuck with our original price range.
Prices are very reasonable and I was much happier booking with a local company rather than going through an UK/European company where most of the money would not have made it to Kenya!
When we finally set off on our trip sadly 2 of the family group had to fly home for health reasons. George and his team were incredibly helpful organising their return flights, extra nights at the hotel in Nairobi and transfer back to the airport.
Eventually we set off on our safari, only 2 years delayed! We started with a day in Nairobi at the Giraffe centre and elephant orphanage, afternoon relaxing at the hotel followed by dinner at the Carnivore restaurant.
We then travelled to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Amboseli, Tsavo West and East then finished in Diani for 5 nights of all inclusive at the beach resort.
Our driver, Ken, was brilliant! So informative about all the animals and he must have super human eye sight as he could spot a leopard a mile off!
We decided to upgrade to the Jeep for our trip and we are so glad we did. A lot of the roads are very bad! Especially in Masai Mara. They call it the African massage but at times it was like wip lash! It's definitely worth having the Jeep for comfort over some of the trickier terrain.
If you're wanting a personalised safari in Kenya, this is the company. I felt like there was nothing they wouldn't do to help us.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
Thanks again George, Ken and the whole Right Choice Team!

So grateful to the team at Rightchoice
My wife and I just returned from a 12 day safari organized by George and the team at Rightchoice Safaris. Our experience was … one of the very best travel experiences we ever had.
First the planning: George was incredibly easy to work with. We communicated first by email and then over WhatsApp as the dates firmed up. We knew very little about what to expect and followed all of George’s recommended itinerary. It turned out perfectly- each park gave us a different experience and the amount of time George recommended was exactly what we needed.
The accommodation choices were beyond our expectations. The parks included: masai mara, nakaru, naivasha, amboselli, tsavo east and west.
Finally, a word about our guide Ken: it was hard to say goodbye!! Ken seemed to have a 6th sense both for the kind of experience my wife and I were looking for but also for the parks and animals themselves. Ken’s quiet enthusiasm, love and respect for the animals was clear. He was respected by his peers and at times it seemed like even the animals seemed to welcome his presence!
We will miss Ken’s friendly and easy going nature but only until we come back and book again. Highly recommend Rightchoice Safari and our guide Ken - we will definitely be booking again.

Outstanding quality for price
My wife and I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania for a 10 day safari with 1 day spent in Nairobi. After extensive research and getting different quotes from other tour agencies, Right Choice provided the best price while maintaining quality accommodation. From start to finish George was always available to answer any and all of my many questions, as well as helping us plan our anniversary trip to our liking. We were able to select the tour we wanted and change some of the accommodations to fit what we were looking for. We were able to see and experience Masai Mara, Serengeti, Amboseli, Tarangire, and so much more. What an incredible experience! George went above and beyond to ensure our travels were special and memorable. Highly recommend Right Choice Safaris for your upcoming travels to east Africa.
